Nobody will ever guess how quick and easy it is to throw together a baked dump cake with strawberries using a boxed can mix and canned pie filling!

Ingredients (Serves 8-10)

1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling

1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Layer the Strawberry Filling:

Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.

Make the Cheesecake Layer:

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dollop spoonfuls over the strawberry filling and gently spread (it doesn’t have to be perfect—swirls are welcome!).

Add the Cake Mix:

Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the cream cheese and strawberry layers.

Top with Butter:

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much of the surface as possible for that golden, crispy topping.

Bake to Perfection:

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Serve & Enjoy:

Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired. Delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Enjoy!
